Science Communication Training

Science Communication Training

Trains scientists to translate complex research for non-technical audiences. Builds skills for media interviews, social media influence, and policy briefs.

The Situation

The changing dynamics of research and ever-increasing societal demands for understanding research implications has ignited a strong need for scientists to acquire effective communication skills for engaging a wide spectrum of actors. There exists a communication gap between scientists and stakeholders (end users of research findings), thus slowing down adoption of valuable innovations and acceptance of research results.

Science communication is a practice that aims to help the lay-public understand research results or the scientific process.We are a leading organisation with vast experience in training scientists on how to effectively communicate their research.Our world-class experts empower scientists with the skills needed to transform them into communicators that can effectively engage a non-technical audience.

Benefits

Participant Reflection

Participant voice
"I am writing to express my gratitude on the science communication training workshop.It was timely and very enlightening.I have since held two major interviews with film crews from National Geographic and Czech Republic who were interested in coverage of the conservancy’s community conservation education program.After the training, preparing for the interviews was very easy - knowledge of key messages, choice of words, how to behave in front of the camera and responding to sensitive topics like poaching.I have no idea how it would have been if it weren’t for the training.I utilized most if not all of the techniques I learnt during the workshop.I am indeed grateful.Thank you ISAAA staff!"
